Bantu Knots are probably high up on my list of favorite styles to do for a super curly look. If done right they will give so much definition and style to any look. Below are a couple of tips to remember when doing your bantu knot out
Bantu Knots secured with Bob pins
1) use smaller sections- you will get smaller curls this way which means more definition.
4) TUCK THOSE ENDS- be very particular in this area, make sure your ends are moisturized and tucked well. To keep my ends tucked I place a bobby pin at the root of each knot. This will ensure the knots do not un-ravel while drying. There’s nothing like doing all of that work and having your hair come out frizzy at the ends because you didn’t secure them properly.
Unraveled Bantu Knots
5) when un-raveling your knots, keep your hands coated with an oil to decrease frizz. The more you separate the more fullness and volume you will have. Be gentle when separating your knots to prevent frizz as well.
Follow these tips and your Bantu knots will yield beautiful results.

Yes alot of patience. This is probably my favorite style to do when I have some time. it gives the best results.
How do you maintain this style and how long does it last? I’m working on and teaching my 17yr old daughter styles since she now wants to be natural🤗
Hi Lina! I use the mini pineapple method to preserve this style. It works so well for short hair. When I do the pineapple method it last for at least a week
Your hair is perfect.
Thank you!!
Grateful if you could tell me how long banto knots style usually last?
Hi Angela,
It depends on how you tie them up a night as well as your daily activities. do you workout often if so they may not last you as long as someone who does not sweat much. I do the mini pineapple method and it lasts me a good 5-7 days
Can Bantu knots style be done with hair not freshly shampooed?
Yes it can be done on hair that is not freshly shampooed. sometimes i do it after a twist out has gotten old.
What is the mini pineapple method?
A Rattail comb is usually the best tool to use when separating your hair. Work with the end of the comb to divide your hair into even, clearly divided sections. If you plan to wear your hair as a Bantu knot-out, your parts can be a bit messy, as they won’t be noticeable once you take your hair down. However, it’s best to create clean parts if you’re going to wear the knots.
